Haematology and metabolism of the blood of the little penguin, Eudyptula minor
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19881. We studied the haematology of the little penguin, Eudyptula minor, and measured red cell enzymes, and the rate of O2 and glucose consumption and CO2 and lactate production of whole penguin blood. 2. Little penguins have a very low RBC count (1.66 x 10(12) l-1) and very large red cells (MCV = 229 microns 3), resulting in a normal haemoglobin and ...

Patterns of Arrival and Departure by Breeding Little Penguins at Penguin Island, Western Australia
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1991SummaryOn Penguin Island, Western Australia, similar numbers of Little Penguins Eudyptula minor came ashore at each of the three landfall points on beaches giving access to the main breeding area. Almost every marked bird consistently used only one of these landfall points, and nested close to this point, but the same individuals did not regularly come

Genetic connectivity of little penguin colonies in Australia
2023The Australian range of little penguins, Eudyptula minor, extends around southern Australia, with range-edge sites near the large cities of Perth (west) and Sydney (east). Both range-edges are closer to the equator than the range-core, being likely to experience similar heating with climate change.

Temperature inside nest boxes of little penguins
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2004In order to assess the potential impact that artificial nest boxes may have on the occupation rate or physical condition of adults and chicks of little penguins (Eudyptula minor), we recorded temperature continuously for 37 days simultaneously inside 7 nest boxes and in surrounding bush.

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF MYCOBACTERIOSIS IN A COLONY OF LITTLE PENGUINS (EUDYPTULA MINOR)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2019A group of zoo-housed little penguins (Eudyptula minor) was diagnosed with mycobacteriosis. While undergoing multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging for an unrelated research project, pulmonary lesions were detected in multiple individuals. In general, birds appeared healthy and free of outward signs of disease.
